A Fall Layout

I love working with sketches and this month's sketch over on the Noel Mignon blog provided me with a great opportunity to use my latest photos of Joshua. I was so lucky to have him visit me last weekend. Sunday morning we look a little nature walk. There are lots of wooded areas off my backyard and I've had the pleasure of exploring them ever since I moved here 17 years ago. Joshie found an empty birds nest and we found a nice place to return in. I used Noel's November kit called "Gather Together" for this layout. Here's the page followed by some close-ups ...

After fussy cutting the leaves I bent the edges to give them some dimension. I used a paper punch to add the small circles around the leaves. How cool are these burlap thickers - perfect for a Fall layout ...

A little bit of twine and some Fall flair ...

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back with my Project Life pages for weeks 46 and 47 later this week. Have a good week!
